EA Sports FC was hit with an extensive bug which has crippled its gameplay experience and rendered all modes inaccessible to playback.
EA Sports FC 24 has introduced a game-breaking bug that may either be amusing or tragic, depending on your viewpoint. Most bugs in games tend to be inconsequential, but this particular glitch has left EA’s latest football title wholly dismantled.
This bug guarantees players are assured a goal by linking skill moves with ball attachment to legs; players then run toward opponent goals to score without the opposition stopping them, and it has caused havoc for competitive matches.
Social media is abuzz with reports from those affected by this glitch, with its effects spreading through professional fields as well. EA will now conduct bug hunting to investigate why and to solve it immediately.
The exploit preys upon players with a “trickster+” play style. By performing a trickster+ ‘catch and spin” move followed by an attempted fake shot, they can cause their ball to become stuck to their foot without dislodging itself; there may only be a brief window during which this glitch may work properly; unfortunately, this means multiplayer games remain disrupted at present due to this bug being replicated by seemingly any trickster+ player; unfortunately this means any attempt at multiplayer games remains hopelessly ineffective as multiplayer matches cannot take place;
As it seems likely that an exploit will be patched within days, players cannot fully enjoy FC 24 until then. This comes on top of mixed reviews about the game itself and sales drop when compared with its last installment, as well as an outrage against lootboxes in general.
Still, with over 11 million players globally currently playing the game and potentially seeing this bug impact important matches and lead them down an unfortunate path, such as angered supporters could potentially experience.
